Here you go:
Wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactucarium
In the twentieth century, two major studies found commercial lactucarium to be without effect. In 1944, Fulton concluded, "Modern medicine considers its sleep producing qualities a superstition, its therapeutic action doubtful or nil." Another study of the time identified active bitter principles lactucin and lactucopicrin, but noted that these compounds from the fresh latex were unstable and did not remain in commercial preparations of lactucarium. Accordingly, lettuce opium fell from favor, until publications of the hippie movement began to promote it in the mid-1970s as a legal drug producing euphoria, sometimes compounded with catnip or damiana.[9]
The active ingredients of lactucarium are believed to be lactucin and its derivatives lactucopicrin and 11β13-dihydrolactucin, which have been found to have analgesic activity equal or greater to that of ibuprofen in standard hot-plate and tail-flick tests of sensitivity to pain in laboratory mice. Lactucin and lactucropicrin were also found to have sedative activity in measurements of spontaneous movements of the mice.[12] Some effects have also been credited to a trace of hyoscyamine in Lactuca virosa, but the alkaloid was undetectable in standard lactucarium.[7]
Sounds interesting as a advil replacment.
Peace

Its true...erowid.org also confirms it. I havent personally used this but I have heard that it can completely numb all pain in your body, and has been used when opiate based anesthetic wasnt available.
Im just a little untrusting of my own chemist skills so i doubt ill ever try this

ive been doing it for about 7 years now and the only thing that i wont do again is make a 50 plant resin extract. I really did believe that i was going to be suffocated by my couch, as i couldnt move and the fact that I felt like I was sinking deeper and deeper into it. Its really just a mild effect with 6 plants but very noticeable. For recreational purposes i would reccomend doing about 10 plants but no more than 20.

Yeah i dont know though... I only made the 50x resin ball because my friends were begging me for some lopium, They had already smoked the 6 plant resin before and liked it, but didnt feel that it was a good enough high to just smoke it and nothing else. So naturally I proceed to getting my bong and stash. After we were all good and baked, my friend Josh asked me if there was any way to make it stronger and I told him yeah all you need to do is extract more plants into a less amount of resin. Thinking that the conversation would end there I went to put up my stuff and upon my return I hear Josh yell from outside that I needed to "grab a honey bun and come on." when I got into the car Josh tells me that we are going to look for wild lettuce plants. I agreed to it but didnt understand why we had to leave the neighborhood as I usually just collect them off the side of my street, but oh no he had already decided that we were going to make some 1000000x extract. We ended up filling the trunk of his car up with wild lettuce (could you imagine being stopped by the cops with that in your trunk?) When we got back to my place, I began the preperation process and the 6 hour process of making a 50 plant extract. When I was done i had a 7 ounce black ball that was no bigger around then a 50 cent piece. My friends all used theres in drinks I smoked mine. NEVER AGAIN. It made me very very dizzy. I puked from sheer dizzyness. I was a dizzy, puking, suffocating statue.
